Question

How would I solve this?

-4j^2-7k+5j+j^2

Answer 1

You can't solve it, because it's not an equation.

Answer 2

How do I simplify it?

Answer 3

\(-4 j^2-7 k+5 j+j^2\)
Group like terms in \(-4 j^2-7 k+5 j+j^2.\)
Grouping like terms, \(-4 j^2-7 k+5 j+j^2 = -7 k+(j^2-4 j^2)+5 j:\)
\(-7 k+(j^2-4 j^2)+5 j\)
Combine like terms in \(j^2-4 j^2.\)
\(j^2-4 j^2 = -3 j^2:\)

Answer 4

Which leaves you with the answer..
